Predictors of Disease Recurrence Post Living Donor Liver Transplantation in End Stage Chronic HCV Patients

Table 3

Correlation between DFS and recipient’s sex, age, BMI, MELD score, and HCC. Host parameters including sex ratio, age of participants, and BMI and MELD score were determined and were statistically analyzed. The results showed that all host parameters were nonsignificant factors affecting the post operative disease-free survival (𝑃 value = 0.776, 0.064, 0.466, and 0.663, resp.).
